Fine Clothing, !

The aim Of our lives has been to produce
and sell clothing, ready for immediate use,
that IN all the essential requirements of mod
ern ideas meet the yiows Of men who dress
well, men OF tasto, men who understand and
appreciate the telling points in perfcctit
ting garment. The vast business that by per
made clothing Is to US a convincing proof
that our aim in this direction has long since
been reached; but We were not satisfied, even
when we realized that we had reached the
highest point Of perfection in the ft and fin
ish OF fine ready.made clothing. It's a dan
gerous feeling, that Of perfect satisfaction
with the results OF ones labors. When men
"rest ON their oars" their energies become
stagnant, their ambition cloggod There Is no
such thing as business standing still, It's got
to keep moving one way or the other, It is
bound to either progress or retrogrado.
Therefore. when We reached the high stand
ard which we had erected as our beacon light
in the manufacture of fine and medium grade
clothing, We wanted TO sec how low It was
possible to sell such clothing while preserv-
ing the high character OF fabric, cut, make,
style, III and trimmings, The result Is that
we arc now oIering-in fact, selling rapidly
suits at sl5 each the equal IN every particular
of any u merchant tailor can turn out for
double that amount Of money The immense
variety of styles and patterns TO be found in
our house at this price makes the selection Of
a suit an easy matter unless, indecd-as il
sometimes happens-a patron gets confused
from seeing so many different kinds, but we
cannot provide against that; our goods are
| here to be examined and inspected by those
| who may honor us with call.

SUNDAY drinking in the suburbs to
an excess hitherto unknown is one of
the results of the Sunday closing law
In Washington. 1t is so with all large

They spcw out their uncleanness over

money than ever is spent in debauch-
cry. We dono cite this fact as au ar.
gument in favor of keeping the saloons
open on Sunday, but simply to dis.
abuse the minds of certain class of
people that the enforcement of law
is necessarily a reform. Reform never
